We shall say thank you lord! Though you did not provide any source for your information.

This is outrageous! N30m per month multiplied by the number of senators.Jeez!

Where is the source? Though i believe is not too far frm d truth. They may even earn more 4 jus sitting down chatting, snoring n delibrating over irrelevant issues wich hv no positive effect on d citizenry. Well! i took 3rd position, God don dey ansa my prayers small small

My dear Nairalander, though am not a politician or work with any member of the national Assembly. but sincerely speaking, most of all these u listed above are paid annually, not monthly. am a professional and consultant by practice, you do not give for example, "Recess allowance everymonth" senator went on recess once in a year, 2, furniture and accomodation allowance are annual payment, not monthly.

pls we are intetrested on this subject matter, but review your posting by clearifies which once are montly and annual payment?

Good for them
